SHADE F'ETING'.

Application filed March 8, 1917.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, AUSTIN D. Bruner, a citizen of United States, residing at city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Shade Fittings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shades and accessories for fenestra windows although not l0 limited .to such application.

The peculiarities of ienestra windows have rendered their shading extremely dicult and various make-shifts have been adopted which more or less imperilectly perform their functions. rlhe object of the present invention is to provide structures of the character indicated which shall accomplish the desired objects in an ecient and convenient manner.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention:

Fig. 1 is a front view of a window equipped with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the apparatus of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a bracket for one end of ashade roller.

Fig. 4 is an end view of the same.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a bracket for the other end of the roller, and

Fig. 6 is an end view of the same.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the sash of a fenestra window arranged in the center of a large window, being surrounded by the window panes 2. The top of the frame of the fenestra window is formed by a continuation of the ribs 3 and 4; the bottom by a continuation of the ribs 5 and 6; one side by a continuation of the ribs 7 and 8, and the other side by a continuation of the ribs 9 and 10.

The fenestra sash is pivoted in the frame by means of pivots 11` and 12, so that it can swing on a horizontal axis. The lower half of the frame has a facing strip 13, against which the lower half of the pivoted sash comes, so that it acts as a stop to prevent the lower ortion of the sash from being moved inwardly. A similar strip 14 is secured to the sash about its upper half and comes against the frame, preventing the upper half from moving inwardly.

The window may be held closed by a catch pivoted at 15 on the sash, and having a lip Serial No. 153,230.

round pintle is shown in Figures 3 and Il. l

lt comprises a foot 21 which may have holes 22 for the reception of screws or rivets for securing it to the sash. At one end o' the ioot a supporting member 23 entends at substantially right angles. rThis member has its ree end odset, in the plane of the member, laterally outside the loot (see particularly Figure 4), and in its free end has the opening 2Q for receiving the round roller pintle.

The other bracket for the other end of the roller has a similar foot 25, supporting member 26 with a laterally oiset position at its free end carrying the squared aperture 27 for receiving the squared pintle of the roller.

The right-angled brackets 19 and 20 are secured to the inside of the sash at the lower corners thereof as shown in Figure 1, so that the odset free ends project away from the pane and the shade roller, which may he mounted therein in the usual manner, is held outward to a sufficient extent so that the shade 28 will clear the pane ribs or other obstacles to its operation.

To hold the shade in proper position, a cord 29 is secured to the upper portion of the sash at 30; it then passes over pulleys or other suitable guides 31 and 32 on the shade stick 33, and thence passes to a cord-holder 34 secured to the top portion of the sash. The shade may thus be held securely in position to cover any desired portion of the window by adjusting it to the desired position, and securing the taut cord to the cord holder.

`While the invention has been illustrated in what is considered its best application, it may have other embodiments without dcpartment from its spirit and is not there fore, limited to the structures shown in the drawings.

l/'Vhat l claim is 1. The combination with a window sash pivoted between its ends, of shade roller brackets secured to the sash within the open- Eil ing for the glass and having the roller receiving portions offset away from the Window pane.

2. rlhe combination with a Window sash of a traine in which the said sash is pivoted between the ends, a vstop secured to the traine preventing the adjacent sash edge moving out of the frame in one direction and a shade roller mounted on the sash and being upon the saine side of a plane through the pivotal axis oi said sash and perpendicular to the plane of the sash as said stop when the Windowv is closed.

3. The combination with a Window sasl pivoted between its ends, of a 4shade roller mounted thereon, a shade on the roller and a cord extending from the said shade to one side of the sash; the said shade and cord eX- tending from the roller across the pivotal axis of the sash to the said side. y

d. The combination with a Windowv trame of a sash pivotcd therein on a horizontal axis, the said axis being intermediate the endsof said sash, a stop at the bottoni oi the 'frame preventing the sash bottom from Inoving out of the 'frame in one direction, shade roller supports secured to the sash at the botifieasao toni of and Within the opening for the giass and having their supporting portions odset away frein the Windev.7 pane, a shade roller on said supports and a cord extending from the shade to the top of the sash.

5. A shade roller bracket having e foot and s support extending from one end thereof at substantially right angles, said support having an opening in its tree end for the reception of a shade roiler pintle and said free end being offset in the plane of said support, the said opening heing outside the planes normal to said `foot at the edges thereof.

(3. The combination with a Window sash, of shade roller brackets secured to the interior oi' the sash, said brackets each having a toot and a support extending at substantially right angles therefrom, said support having its tree end laterally odset outside the planes norinai to said foot and passin through the edges thereof, the right angled portion of each bracket being tted into a corner of the said sash with the oiiset portion extending awayl troni the Window pane.

in testimony whereof have signed this specification this 5th day of March 1917. AUSTIN D. BRXEY.
